Customers say: True professional

"Still Services recently updated all of the plumbing lines in our home in addition to re-plumbing our bathroom in conjunction with a remodel. The original plumbing was not vented properly and Still Services took care to make sure everything was brought up to code and in superior working order. Everyone at Still Services was incredibly easy to work with; from the owner Matt who came to discuss the scope of the project and provide an estimate, to Kirsten in the office coordinating and communicating, to the technician, Stone, and his helping hands who performed the physical labor. I couldnâ t be more pleased with how smoothly the process went and with the exceptional final product. Still Services was respectful and accommodating in regards to our time, space, finances and in answering any questions I had along the way. I will without question hire Still Services again in the future should any plumbing issues ever arise. Additionally, I look forward to working with them when itâ s time to upgrade our homeâ s heating and cooling system."

"Josh and his team were awesome. They gave me a quote quickly, came out a few days later (our job wasn't a rush), and did an awesome job. They installed our water heater and vented it outside in under 3 hours. They left our basement spotless after the install too. Very very friendly and polite as well. If I ever need any other plumbing/HVAC work I'm going to reach out."

"Don't hesitate in doing business with Ben and Water Heaters America. My experience was a call one day and hot water the next. An extremely fair price for a repair that others would recommend doing a full, much more costly replacement."

Plumbing questions, answered by experts

Start your Amherst seasonal routine in the fall by shutting off outdoor hose bibs and inspecting unheated crawl spaces before freezing temperatures arrive. During winter, maintain indoor heating at a minimum of 55 degrees to protect pipes. In the spring, inspect all exposed lines for post-thaw cracking and test your septic drainage. Finally, use the summer months to schedule non-emergency plumbing upgrades and inspect required backflow prevention devices.

Helpful?

You should schedule a plumbing inspection if your home features original pre-1960 galvanized steel or lead pipes. Watch for seasonal signals like unexplained wet spots or reduced water pressure after a harsh MA winter, indicating severe freeze damage. Changes in water taste or discoloration point directly to internal pipe corrosion. Finally, schedule an assessment before selling your property or renting it out to ensure all systems meet strict state standards.

Helpful?

A frequent mistake is attempting unpermitted DIY plumbing work, which causes significant issues during home sales and voids homeowners insurance in Massachusetts. Homeowners also mistakenly patch aging galvanized or lead pipes instead of fully replacing them. Additionally, failing to insulate pipes in unheated spaces leads to severe freeze damage during harsh winter cold snaps. Always hire a licensed professional to ensure your home remains safe and fully compliant.

Helpful?

Modifying your plumbing directly impacts several other home systems in Amherst. Because many local properties use hydronic heating, changing water pressure directly disrupts boiler performance. Opening older plaster walls for pipe access reveals outdated wiring or structural issues requiring immediate attention. Additionally, adding new fixtures increases water usage, which places strict legal limits on private septic systems. Consult a licensed contractor to evaluate these interconnected systems before starting work.

Helpful?

In the short term, updating your plumbing ensures rental market readiness and prevents burst pipes during harsh Amherst winters. Long-term benefits include eliminating hazardous lead service lines to protect your health. Fixing leaks and replacing inefficient fixtures directly extends the lifespan of private septic systems. Furthermore, modernizing these systems improves boiler efficiency for hydronic heating and increases your overall property value in a highly competitive real estate market.
